There are two ways in which we need your support:

Bring us your expertise: if you have specialist knowledge or experience, read the relevant technical section and send us comments or corrections. You could suggest good examples of projects that embody principles of sustainability, or offer to join the Charter panel.

Give us details of useful publications, websites, and organisations. We promise to update the site and acknowledge your contribution.

Make a pledge: stand up and be counted. You can make your pledge online or otherwise contact SSW.

Read the criteria for pledges and decide where you are now and where you would like to be. To check your eligibility and be invited to other events contact SSW. Everyone who makes a pledge will be listed on this website, at events and in any publications.

A small group of organisations brought together by Sustainability South West are already involved with the charter and have helped to prepare its Technical Notes.


These are:

The Construction Industry Council

Energy for Sustainable Development (ESD)
www.esd.co.uk
The Environment Agency
www.environment-agency.gov.uk
The National Trust
www.nationaltrust.org.uk
The Somerset Trust for Sustainable Development

Representatives have done their best to cover the right agenda. Of course, it is not perfect or comprehensive; it is a start. The Charter is deliberately conceived in a way that allows the sections to be updated by other experts or to introduce new ones with new practice and innovations. The Founder Organisations currently form a panel to monitor the Pledges and the development of the Charter.
